I don't want the following to seem like I didn't enjoy BotW. It was one of the best games I've ever played. The design, colors, detail; all a culmination of very-near perfection. Yada yada. But the following is only criticism.

Although the potentiality embedded in the fabric of BotW is exhilarating, I found myself missing the typical "explore your small village, get to know your friends, pick up one trusty sword, and be on your way" formula. This left the rest of the game feeling a bit empty, as if Link didn't properly belong. Tying into this, I was not a fan of the ransacked Hyrule. I was was wordlessly upset that Castle Town was in the state it was, not the gorgeous metropolis presented in one of the trailers. I disliked the immense absence of towns, something I was on the edge of my seat for during those 3 or so years. At least throw in some farmer cabins here and there, like in the very first intro trailer, ya know? I've got my fingers crossed for a thriving, even larger open-world Hyrule in the future. It would make the game so, so much more enjoyable for me.
